The mule is definitely the shoe of the season and I couldn’t be happier. Why? Because I hate my toes – even when they are perfectly pedicured. And of course the obvious, there is nothing better than slip on shoes.
I just found these floral embroidered mules at Aldo for only $80. As per my criteria for building my new, more practical shoe wardrobe, they are super comfortable and can be dressed up or down.

Look #1: Summer Night Out
I would totally wear this out on date night. The shirt is cropped and a little more revealing so I would wear it with a high waisted pant to cover up a little on the bottom. I love pairing feminine colours and prints with khaki.

Look #2: Stripes on Stripes
At first I thought this look might be a littly matchy matchy with the shoes, but it totally works. I chose a long sleeve tee and would do a partial tuck in the front to show off the super cure waist band on these shorts. There is something about shorts and sweaters/long sleeves that I love. And I kept the bag super neutral because there is alot going on already.

Look #3: Feminine Detailing
One of the criteria for my new, more practical shoe wardrobe, is that a new pair must look great with denim because I wear alot of denim. And mules definately work with a pair of jeans. I like to show a little ankle with mules so I wear a cropped pair or cuff my denim. it helps show off your shoe but I find it also helps make your legs look longer.
I went for a pretty white embroidered top in this look. Its hard to see the details in the pic below but this shirt is so feminine with the embroidery and ruffle detailing. And I love this bag but beware, its small. But perfect for a day out. The smaller the bag means the less shit you can stuff in it which ultimately means the lighter it will be. And who doesn’t like a nice light bag.
